Jump to navigationJump to searchAdded table for the regents I have listed. Will need to find them all through the end of the Heian period, at least. May start some bios, though.
Fuhito's sons included [[Fujiwara Maro|Maro]] (695-737), [[Fujiwara Umakai|Umakai]] (694-737), [[Fujiwara Fusasaki|Fusasaki]] (681-737), and [[Fujiwara Muchimaro|Muchimaro]] (680-737), who would become the progenitors of the Capital, Ceremonial, Northern, and Southern branches of the Fujiwara family, respectively.

===Early Fujiwara Regency===
===Early Fujiwara Regency===
From the 9th to early 10th centuries, the influence of the Fujiwara family grew at court. They were crucial in reforming--and ultimately replacing--the ritsuryô administration of previous generations. With the eventual creation of the extracodal posts of [[sessho|Sesshô]] (Regent) and [[Kampaku]] (Viceroy), they were able to place themselves at the top of the administrative structure, in effect subject only to the emperor. At the same time, provincial power was also growing, while court positions slowly became traditional hereditary posts. Towards the end of the 9th century, Japan would officially cut its ties with China and focus more specifically on internal reform.
